Announcements

Fishing Minnesota has added a new menu item (see above) called Fishing Report Clubs. It's a way to keep the really good fishing reports coming and being shared only with those who also provide detailed fishing reports.
We will only approve new members who request to join if they have already posted a recent fishing report in the area forum, associated with the Fishing Report Club area you want to join.
Initially we are going to limit the number of regular memberships, in the Fishing Report Clubs, to the top 20 members in each Club, to those with the best frequency and quality fishing reports provided in the club and less so in the regular fishing report forum open to all members. The higher quality fishing report reserved for the club of course.
If you want see detailed fishing reports/tips around your area and will share your detailed fishing report as soon as you join, then Join Now!
Some of the clubs are starting to fill fast. Use the Fishing Reports Club link in the Menu above (after you've posted a fishing report in the regular area forum) and request to Join.

RECEIVE THE GIFTS MEMBERS SHARE WITH YOU HERE...THEN...CREATE SOMETHING TO ENCHANT OTHERS THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE

You know what we all love...

When you enchant people, you fill them with delight and yourself in return. Have Fun!!!

Today was a rough bugger. I was over on Mille Lacs. We did not hammer them, but did catch some nice fish. We had 3 that were so close to the 20 mark that we had to send them back, can't believe how borderline they were, not about ready to even chance that idea. We also had some big mommas that went back as well. Too rough to run to the way out stuff. But let me tell you the Wave Wacker boats were taking a serious pounding. We had a group of 9 guides out on Gull yesterday and we all had successful trips, the fish were biting quite well on a number of areas. Lindy Rigs and spot tail shiners were the answer. The biggest fish were 18 inches, but the action was pretty much non-stop. One of our guides boated a 27 incher on Gull the other day and we also had a 36 in pike yesterday, both were caught on spot tail shiners in 14-19 feet. The bass are going pretty strong right now too. Water temp is probably falling with this weather, but it was about 67 last night. Mille Lacs was 63.7 today when I looked.

To much pressure. I hope some day they will lower limits to 4 fish year round. People will still come and it couldn’t hurt to try for a few seasons. I haven’t heard anyone say there are to many fish in Lake of the Woods. The Canadian side is the only thing saving this lake.

Typically they jig May through June, then they start to lindy rig or spinner fish July into September. All depends on what you prefer to do. Ballards Resort bait fishes from start to finish but if you want to down rig many others do that starting in July and end sometime in September usually.
